We've talked about the D-Line a lot lately and who we want to draft and our opinion of all the D-Lineman. However someone lost in the shuffle is Malcom Brown. We've talked about every other one from Leonard Williams to Danny Shelton to Eddie Goldman to Carl davis and a couple more. I really haven't heard many opinions (if any) about malcom brown.

 

So my questions are, would you draft him, does he fit our scheme and basically where do you rank him among D-Lineman?

This makes sense, Brown is the one guy I really know nothing about. He was flying under the radar here and I wasn't sure if he was a riser or a faller. Looks like he is one of the better DTs in this draft. If he doesn't fit our scheme as reality hinted though, I'd rather go for an arik armstead that is a project but a 3-4 guy.

It's true he would probably best meet his potential in a 4-3, but this man is truly scheme versitile.  He could play for us as a DT or NT and be our best lineman within a year.

Great player, if he falls out of top 15 he won't fall out of top 20.

Scheme I highly doubt scheme would effect his play. He is so versatile and a wall to run on. One of the best lineman coming out this year.

I'm liking Brown a lot. If he fell close to 20 I would love to trade up and get him. The versatility is an invaluable thing. I haven't seen anything suggesting we've met with him or anything though, so it will be a long shot. Nice to know about him from you guys though. 

 

I appreciate it!

I'd love it if he fell to 29, but that's why I don't mention him that much. I don't see him falling that far. We could trade up 4-5 spots for him though. The guys that'll probably be there when we pick are Phillips, Goldman, Davis, and Armstead.

I wanted him from Day 1 and followed his rise from late 1st Round mocks to middle in most.  I want HIM, but he is too good to pass up for teams like the Bears, Lions and others that need him...He gone.

 

Gavin:  He is a run stuffer that compares favorably to a healthy Art Jones.  Not worried bout the big boy's pass rush. If we were luck to have him...we could play 3 up front that demands double teams on every play.  Opens the door for our pass rush to be effective.  :thmup:

I saw quite a bit of pocket push from Brown when I watched.   I think he's more than a run stuffer.

I mean what college player has a lot of pass rush moves coming out of college anyway?

agreed.  Look at all of the 'Edge' LBs that appear to be projects.  I have talked about Brown in almost every thread.  I must be on ignore  :funny: Who cares right?  :)

 So that would be our 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th to get up to 20 based on the value chart.  He better be GREAT!

I like him but I think he wears down quickly and has to use his hands more consistently, I don't see effort from him on a down to down basis, Not much in the form of pass rush moves

Interesting.  We usually share close to the same views on players but I see Brown differently.  He does need work on hands but I don't see him as a short stamina guy.  In fact from the tape he usually is the only player on the LH D that would consistently show up.

I've been pushing for either Brown or Goldman for months now.  .....the thing with Brown is that he's likely to go a bit earlier.  ....don't think he'll slide to us.  ......he's a terrific player.

      Smith has been having a hard time staying healthy the last few years and he's due 19 mil next season with no dead cap to cut him.

      Well they replaced Strausser with Sparano which solved a problem.

      I disagree about Smith.  He’s an absolute road grader as a run blocker. He’s graded as one of the best in that category.  His pass blocking was around 71 last year. Considering the need for knee surgery that’s pretty good considering the DE’s they went up against last year.    Fries was solid last year. He plays with a mean streak and through the whistle. Fries was better last year than Glowinski was as a Colt in my opinion. I don’t see any reason Fries wouldn’t continue to improve. He’s an ascending player.    I hope the Colts hit on drafting Kelly’s replacement.  It was good that he had a bounce back year after 2+ sub par years. However, they can’t pay everyone and having a center with a $14 million cap hit is too much.    You can’t pay everyone. It seems like the Colts have a plan in place to replace Kelly and/or Fries after this season but I expect the Colts oline to be even more consistent this year with a healthy Smith and a QB who is willing to stay in a clean  pocket.  I also feel like the depth is there to handle injuries.

      One correction here.  The NFL has loosened the restrictions on veterans.  Six of the players have zero restrictions on how many NFL games a player has accrued.

      Nice house in good neighborhood for 200k.  Not where I live!   I agree that many people are under paid.  And @RollerColt is a prime example.   I thought about becoming a school teacher when I retired from the military but it just didn't make finacial sense.  I really appreciate what you do.
